    This is a point I don’t see brought up enough. The amount of effort and money spent by corps to discredit unions should be the only proof people need to see they’re in their best interest.

    Same holds true for any legislation corps fight tooth and nail against. Their only concern is their bottom line. If they’re spending millions on something, it’s cause it’ll save them billions.

      It saving billions isn’t argument against it being good for employees/most people. If say the government introduced a bill that required every company to send 5% of their money to Russia, fighting the hell out of that bill would save them billions and would be in line with what most Americans want. There are more realistic ones like pretty much every iteration of the kids online safety act.

      It might be a good rule of thumb, but it definitely isn’t the only argument/proof needed.
